I think the teeth on the gear are too fine to be from a planter. I've been scouring pics on the internet of old planter parts, all makes and ages have larger and fewer cogs on the gear. I think I...

The hit and miss engine makes the most sense based on the parts. There are millions of old windmills out here but none of these parts look like windmill parts. If it IS of a hit and miss what is...

No there is no reference, the stem (not the piece with gear) is about 18 inches long...

Found in the woods on an old farmsite. Nothing else of note around. The honeywagon thought is a good one but it wouldnt open it very far. I'm thinking this is designed for repetitive up and down...

It looks to me like its a gear drive from an old pump but I'm not sure. Not looking for guesses, I can do that, looking for an answer from someone who KNOWS...

Start a new thread, Gixer I want one of your molds. If JTKnives can't currently deliver a product then his thread should be removed, it's confusing enough as it is without having to read through now...

I think my problem then is too cool of a mold and letting the alloy cool too long in the mold. Thanks for the input.

I'm sure this has been answered but what is the best way to open the NOE molds? The sprue plate does not have a handle and I know guys knock them open with a hammer or a heavy dowel. I kinda tried...

I'll take one too, nice to have this around and casts faster than the 00 one that I have. atom73

Good score. Yeah, now the real work starts...

2 cav .358 plain base, large pins, and handle please. Email is neilsbohr73@ yahoo. you know what.

Nyrstar facility in Clarksville TN is a zinc facility. Zinc and lead are alloyed together for many industrial uses so it's possible that it is a consumer of lead to produce Zn alloy but probably not...

Jim,
Thanks for saying that. I am not trolling for apologies, my self esteem could actually use some hits (it's way too high!). But the fact that you would consider saying that means that you are...

As the op, I kinda figured either it had been posted before or not (pretty safe assumption). I also figured (this is where I was wrong) that IF it had been posted before, then those that had seen it...

No Gkainz, nothing to do with you. I looked a little further and found some other postings about the closing of Doe Run, same guy said the same thing to others that posted about it. I still think...

You're a good egg Rick, I've dealt with you before here on this forum. It's been a while since I have posted, I've been busy with building 'the compound' here in SD. Seems as if the mood has...

I've got my stash, welcome to the forum Banger. I dont recall indicating that I was worried or hand wringing.

Oh and by the way, there still is a small family smelter up and running in SD....

Hey! I live in Clear Lake! I love it up here, nice cold winters, plenty of room. Cold weather keeps the pests out, both insect and human ;)

See, and I gave the forum a quick once over and didnt see any postings on it (which I though was odd). I am not surprised that it's already been posted, in fact, I expect that it had but didnt see...

We all knew it would happen, sorry if this has already been posted but Doe Run in MO (the last lead smelter in the US) is closing Dec 31, 2013. EPA regs choked it out. Remember Doe Run....

I dont know what is in range lead but copper scrap is worth $, dont put it in curbside recycling for several reasons with the main one being that you could sell it at the yard and make a little...

I dont see how it would be cost effective to add to an alloy. Adding copper seems far easier and less expensive and can give harder boolits (for those that want them). Otherwise, what is wrong with...

I have the thumblers tumbler model B, I think it's the same one. Maybe I should watch the video ;)
